Spa Village Resort Tembok Bali - Small Luxury Hotels of the World Reviews

We enjoyed a relaxing few days at the Spa Village. After a long car journey, we really appreciated the foot scrub and shoulder massage on arrival. Although on the smaller side, the Spa Village has plenty to offer. We loved the massages that were included each day, and the therapists were brilliant at working around our sunburn and providing aloe vera to help us out. You would expect the massages at a Spa hotel to be good but somehow they exceeded our expectations as they were so relaxing and professional! Each day there were several activities to get involved in, and we particularly enjoyed the yoga, the tai chi, and the stargazing in the pool. As we were on our honeymoon, we were also offered a blessing by the local priest which was a really special experience right on the seafront. The hotel did also suggest day trips/activities further afield, but as we’d already done some of these before coming to the Spa Village, we stayed on site for the days we were there. The grounds of the hotel are beautiful and well kept. The room was clean and spacious, and we loved the little notes from housekeeping each morning and evening. We enjoyed the food and there was a good variety on the menu across the days we were there. The only feedback we would have for the hotel is to try and ensure more people get involved with the brilliant activities on offer as sometimes we had completely private activities. If you are visiting the hotel make sure you make the very most of the fantastic itinerary on offer. We would definitely recommend this hotel if you are looking for a relaxing stay.

We had an amazing Luxury Escapes getaway for five nights and cannot fault anything at Spa Village Tembok. While it’s a long trip to Tembok our driver ensured our transfer was as comfortable as possible. Every, and I mean every, staff member at Spa Village delivered an amazing service, from always greeting us by name, arranging our itinerary, refilling our water, ensuring our stay was as amazing as possible. The included spa treatments were incredible, daily yoga was wonderful, the food options were fab and the infinity pool and availability of pool beds was all we could ask for. This is the place to come if you want pure relaxation, escape the hustle bustle, excellent service and an indulgent but affordable getaway. Highly recommend.

A lovely relaxing mini break, everything is inclusive transfers from the airport ( be mindful it’s a 3 hour drive) meals, a cocktail daily, yoga, and 50 min massage. Beautiful location right on the beach - it’s a small hotel that has friendly staff, ever helpful. Its remote location away from shops and bars and restaurants made it for me more appealing as I wanted to slow down and relax.

The best experience we have ever had! We came to spa village for our honeymoon we were literally treated like royalty. All staff knew our name from the moment you arrived they are all so helpful and couldn’t do enough for you. Singapore airlines unfortunately lost all our luggage for our first 4 days at the resort and the staff provided us with traditional clothes they have on site and sandals so we could enjoy the stay. They rang the airline for us multiple times each day till our luggage arrived. We had a 50 minute treatment daily which was so lovely, the therapists were so kind and friendly. After each massage you get a small warm cleansing drink much I really liked. The Balinese massage was our favourite! The resort has one restaurant which changes its menu daily. The lunch and the breakfast menu stayed the same but the evening was always different. You even get surprise courses each day too. Only small bites but always so tasty! The menu for dinner is small and all traditional Balinese food so very authentic. My husband has a nut allergy and this was a little bit of an issue, not all serving staff could speak the best English/ understand exactly what you meant. The majority did! There was a few times that we were served nuts within dishes after telling the serving staff daily he was allergic. A few members of the serving staff spoke amazing English and understood that nuts were a no no but the lady taking your order who speaks great English isn’t the person serving you the food . So there must be some crossed wires there. He doesn’t have a severe nut allergy but I would be very careful if you do! I had to try all his dishes first and check if there was any nuts in them. It was mainly an issue if there wasn’t a physical nut on the plate as in if the dessert was pistachio flavoured or peanut sauce. But if there was an obvious nut like in granola they understood that that couldn’t be served. We stayed in the pool villa so had a private pool, we never actually used the main pool because of this. Everyone at the resort tended to spend their days by the main pool but as the resort only has 30 rooms it was never too busy. The main pool has a stargazing experience each night where you can get on a float and look up at the stars, we really enjoyed this, it was so beautiful. The resort is so quiet! It’s mainly couples there so never noisy. The only noise we ever heard was the hotel next door which are really loud at night, we could easily sleep through it but this hotel isn’t exactly close to spa resort so they must have their music really loud for us to hear it. It’s mainly the thudding of the beats than the words of the songs we could hear. The spa resort provides you with an itinerary of your stay that you can stick to or change. It really helped us plan our stay. A lot of people don’t tend to go out and do the experiences but we did. We went out of the sunset cruise which is just on the beach in front of the resort this was so beautiful

LOVED LOVED LOVED it - the setting is magic and incredibly peaceful. The staff, all of them, are gorgeous, so friendly, super helpful and go out their way for you. Many of them know you by name. I loved how one guy reserved our favourite poolside spot each morning & constantly refreshed our iced water. The daily spa treatment for hubby and myself was the ultimate treat. The food was healthy, delicious and plentiful. The waiting staff were fantastic. It’s hard to single the staff out because they were all amazing. They worked together like a family and you felt it. Thank you for making our time with you so special and relaxing ❤️ We had the best time and I highly recommend it.

What a fabulous resort. From the moment we arrived to the moment we had to leave we were so well looked after. On arrival from Ubud we received a welcoming drink and cool towel followed by a shoulder and foot massage. Although it was 2;30 pm our room wasn't quite ready so we were ushered into lunch, as part of our full board package. About 40 minutes later we were taken to our room on the upper floor overlooking the gardens, with a lovely balcony with a comfy sofa and table for you to while your time away. Our room was spotlessly clean, fully airconditioned, with plenty of hanging and storage space. No iron or ironing board but laundry service should you require it. Fabulously comfy bed, well stocked mini bar, tea and coffee. A coffee machine would have been a nice additional touch. There was also a sofa and desk/dressing table with chair adapter plugs soft lighting and hair dryer, although a more power full one have been appreciated. The bathroom was bright and clean with plenty of towels , shampoo, soap conditioner. although maybe a little dated with a shower over the bath which might have been better if it had been a rain shower. The rooms were serviced daily in the morning and evenings by the room staff who had great attention to detail, leaving you little notes and hand woven trinkets daily. We had a 50 minute treatment booked every day. These were set out on an itinerary which was left in your room, but you were able to change any of the treatments to suit you as long as the staff were able to accommodate you within the spa schedule. All our treatments were amazing, although I might skip the foot massage as it wasn't my favorite . However we were thoroughly pampered, and felt amazing at the end of each session. There was plenty of other things to do like yoga, sunset cruise, crafty activities and trips off site, but we chose to laze around the pool most of the time, with pool service available and water constantly on offer all day to make sure you were well hydrated. The pool was open from 7am-9pm so we took advantage of this for early morning swimming then coffee by the pool before heading into breakfast. Plenty of options with regards to food, always delicious well presented and the staff were just fabulous and would explain all options and alternatives if you had dietary issues. We were also lucky enough to have a Balinese evening being entertained my local children doing traditional dancing. The beach was black volcanic sand and you do need beach shoes if you are swimming in the sea as its very rocky just off shore. Do go snorkeling off the beach there was lots to see as well as crystal clear warm water there was corals regenerating and plenty of fish. Walk to the left of the beach past the locals with their fishing boats to view the sunset in the evenings. This place was kept immaculate by the ground staff and gardeners. In fact I don't think we have ever been to a resort where the staff have been so friendly and eager to talk to

Excellent resort which is extremely peaceful, being located in a quiet part of Bali and which has a small number of rooms keeping the guest count small. Also, kids are not allowed so that adds to the peace. The pool area was nice and chairs/cabanas were always available. The beach is rocky but definitely swimmable. The food was delicious though a bit small in portions. Rooms were perfectly comfortable. Lots of helpful staff and the included spa treatments added to the experience. There are a few excursions the hotel can arrange which was convenient. Only reason I can't give 5 stars is the long and grueling drive to and from the airport! It is 3-4 hours of traffic, bumps, road-sickness etc, so just be prepared for that. But maybe that's the only way you can get peace on Bali!

Tembok Spa Village Resort is completely beautiful! The sound of the waves on the black sandy beach is always with you as the pebbles wash in with the waves, it is incredibly relaxing. We loved the day beds by the pool, the perfect place to read a book. The reflections of the palm trees in the pool are what dreams are made of. Breakfast, lunch and dinner were all delicious - and having them included in our package made our stay so easy and decadent. Even when we went on a day trip to Amed and a sunrise boat trip in Lovina Bay, the resort staff carefully organised our meals for while we were away. The suite was exceptional, so much space, a wonderful balcony and the daily notes and gifts on our pillow a thoughtful touch. But three things really stand out about this wonderful resort, the incredible welcome foot bath and neck and shoulder massage, the attentiveness of the staff and provision of a proposed itinerary on check in (including lots of ideas we hadn't thought of and thoroughly enjoyed - like the sunrise dolphin tour in Lovina Bay) and the other worldy massages provided in the spa. I had a massage from Wayan that is the best I have ever had (and I have had a lot of massages!). So, do yourself a favour, and book this resort - it is outstanding! PS Request Sono to drive you from the airport :-)

The drive from the airport took around 3 hours, and though it was a long drive after the delayed flight from Brisbane, being able to see a part of Bali and the way of life in the little villages that you don't see in the city venues, meant it was a really good way to ease into our holiday. The greeting at the car on arrival with a cold towel, foot rub, and neck massage pretty much set the scene for the next 5 days. The personal service we received at check-in (and throughout the stay) was outstanding. We felt like VIPs! We stayed in a suite and enjoyed the spaciousness it afforded - as well as the great view of the pool and across to the black sandy beach. It was clean and well maintained, with good internet access. There are no TVs in the room, which is perfect for me (but if you need a Netflix hit, the internet works well if you have a device with you). The restaurant had a great selection of food that changed daily. I have food allergies and the F&B team was very good at accommodating me, which isn't always easy as a soy allergy in southeast Asia does throw a spanner in the works for many of the local dishes - but the chef was able to look after me and I didn't feel like I was missing out on anything. The food looked amazing, tasted amazing and despite some reviews saying it was small portions - we were stuffed after every meal. The portion sizes aren't huge but they don't need to be - they are more than adequate and there are multiple courses at every meal setting. There is also a pool bar area where the team will mix a cocktail, a jug of sangria, or some other cold beverage - and then bring it to you as you sun yourself by the pool. They make sure you're hydrated by topping up your water (all filtered/spring water) - no need to ask, they just quietly top you up then disappear into the background. We had daily spa treatments, which were divine. A tip from me is to book a treatment for the day you arrive - the spa is open into the evening so if you arrive during the afternoon, you have time to settle into your room, have a massage then go to dinner. Now that's a holiday! The treatments were fabulous and every day there was something different to enjoy. Daily treatments were part of our package but there are upgrades available, which I indulged in, and the prices are very reasonable. The spa team has years of experience - some of the team have been there for 15+ years and you turn to putty in their hands. The resort was quiet while we were there - only about 45% occupancy so you never had to rush to hold a spot by the pool. There were plenty of cabanas and deck chairs to go around. In the time that we were there, we counted no more than 15 guests, including us, so it was like having your own private resort. Unfortunately, I got sick (not gastro) while I was there and the team organised for a doctor to come and see me. The doctor spoke English, which I wasn't sure would be the case, and she was able to provide me with th

This was the first time ever that we thought that the staff is perhapes even too kind and hospitable. Spa tretments are outstanding here. There are excellent in all hotels, but here was even better. We took one of two vilas, with private plunge pool and direct access to the ocean. Magnificent. (So I do not know what are normal rooms like). Goody all in all.

Excellent, Excellent, very satisfying! I want to stay here forever hahahah! Driving 3 hours from Denpasar to this resort was quite tiring, on the way I imagined that when I arrived at the resort I would immediately go to sleep, but in fact I didn't hahah! Arriving one step at the resort, I was immediately greeted by very friendly staff who showed me all the things I had, after that I was served a welcome drink with a welcome ritual, my feet were cleaned and my back was massaged, there is no other resort I have encountered like this resort, it was very unexpected ! After arriving at the room, the receptionist called "What time do you want a massage today, sir?" Tomorrow ? “ OMG it turns out every guest at this resort will get a massage every day! really a very satisfying package! Apart from that, there are lots of activities that we can enjoy at this resort, such as yoga, gym, etc. I forgot there are so many and they are all free! the food is also very delicious, and the most impressive thing is that the staff at this resort are very friendly and always smiling, also the GM of this resort is also very friendly to the guests, I hope this resort becomes the best resort choice in Bali, you have to come here!

Booked via Hyatt, per the SLH terms: World of Hyatt members receive a one category room upgrade (based on availability at check-in). Hotel was practically empty (only 5 rooms booked), yet we did not receive the one category room upgrade which should have been the suite. The Kamar room is quite outdated and in dire need of an upgrade (ceiling fan makes a lot of noise) and AC was so weak we slept without blankets. I would have given this hotel a 3-star, but the staff here is great and attentive which bumped it to a 4-star. The food here is pretty good for a hotel and the massage was very relaxing. It was very difficult finding transportation via grab/gojek, so make sure you prebook your transportation in advance. It should cost around 700-800k each way to/from Sanur/Nusa Dua.

This is our 4th trip to our favourite hotel anywhere! From the moment we arrived to receive the welcome ceremony, to the final gong when we left, we were in heaven. The quality of the food here is outstanding. The chef will try to meet any requests personally. The yoga is fantastic! Do not worry if you have never done it before. There are 2 brilliant sessions each day. The massages here, which are included in your booking are the best we have ever experienced. This is the holiday you have promised yourself where you will forget the outside world for a few days. Finally the staff from the general manager, Fauzi to the wonderful gardener Nyoman, to the pool staff and superb restaurant staff you will not be disappointed. A final point of recommendation, after we have visited this hotel we have gone to other parts of the island on our trips and wondered why we left the wonderful Spa Village. See you all next year!

We coul not say more than this, It was brilliant, we will go there again. Amazing staff, 3 meals a day, daily massage, yoga. Tembok is totally, and away from the maddening bikes and traffic, as experienced in the main holiday areas of Bali very peacful.
